From the reviews

High standards, kindness, community, constant striving for a better self, never giving up on anyone. This Taekwondo dojang has my highest recommendation. Lees ATA Chandler is more than just a place to take excellent taekwondo classes.

★★★★★ — Sue, May 2019

My son has loved his entire experience at Lee’s ATA Chandler! We’ve been going for a year and a half and the confidence it has given my son has been tremendous. There is such a supportive community within the school and my child has a positive relationship with every single instructor.

★★★★★ — Liah, Dec 2024

My daughter joined the ATA association when she was 3, and at the time we went to the school closest to us, which was NOT this location in Chandler. Over time we noticed a decline in the standards of organization, overall instruction quality, and customer services. I had nearly given up on the entire ATA Association.

★★★★★ — Sacred, Oct 2020

I want to take the time to acknowledge everyone at ATA for the amazing work that they do with our children. My daughter has been in Tiny Tiger classes for 14 months - half of which she has also been in ATA’s leadership program.

★★★★★ — Renee, Dec 2024

Your first Karate class at Generation Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
